I was going to say nappy(diaper), diaper bag (for smelly used nappy) and wipes but I will instead go for wipes, band aids, lollypops( for treats or distaction if needed)

Well, I have to say it’s much easier getting out of the house with a 3-year old than any other age thus far, but my top three things are:

1. toy (usually more than one because he can never settle on just one)
2. snack
3. stroller (which I always keep in the trunk so I don’t forget to pack it)

Mommy’s top three things are:

1. cell phone
2. credit card
3. snack (mommies get hungry too)

I haven't done it in a while, but in hindsight I wish the essentials I never left home without had been (1) a Zen-like, being-in-the-present mindset, (2) an easygoing, can-do attitude, (3) the ability to enjoy all the little caught moments in the daily round and know that the challenging times were all part of it, too. julie´s last blog post...the poet as photographer

1. Diaper (for the youngest) and babywipes. 2. Snack and drink (banana/cookies and chocolate milk or juice in little tetra bricks) 3. A toy/book In the car I always have a bigger bag containing more of the above as well as a change of clothes, plastic disposal bags, small first aid kit etc. Mindful Mimi´s last blog post...Today is life - the only life you are sure of.
